God has a sense of humor andIf you have time I have a tale.

In military basic training land The youngsters - not always young - Always come to chapel..It is the only place where they are free Loosed temporarily from the fetters of their captivity.Basic is a place of pressure and of pain Access to the military a goal to be gained.The process lasts about twelve weeks Twelve being the number choosen by our greatest teacher.

One Christmas eve with help from wife Her intent being to help ease my preaching strife A great sermon was spoken to the uniformed throng Their attentiveness told me absolutely nothing was wrong. A great sermon preached to a sea of faces A little less pain in one of God's strange places.

But the best was yet to be For God's sense of humor held a gift for me That in that night of greatest pastoral power A goal of rich adolescent vision had come to flower.
